"If you visited the Plasma project's outdated Web site in past weeks, you might have gotten the impression that the team behind the project to revitalize the KDE desktop hasn't been up to much these past months. Delve into KDE's SVN repository, mailing lists, or the mind of lead developer Aaron Seigo, however, and you'll find a more exciting story." More here.

However, I still don't get the need to rate my files. I mean... I've got some music, but I don't really like it? And... am I going to look for the best image I have?

I understand ratings in a place with many (and I mean a lot) people voting. You can then use those ratings as an estimate of popularity. But on my desktop, where only I use my files, or at most I share them with my girlfriend, why would I need to remind myself of how much I like a certain song?

I could make a playlist of the songs I like best, but I could do this anyway with a "favorite" tag. I may look for songs I really like a lot, but am I ever going to look for the songs I don't like or are so-so?
